摘要：In education, computer programming is considered to be a difficult and challenging subject to learn andunderstand especially for beginner students. Identification and investigation of such causes and how to resolve havebeen a focused area for the research community. Even with the advancement of technology, education sector is still notfully utilising the technology. Therefore, it’s high time that appropriate teaching materials should be developed usinginteractive teaching curriculum to ease students' learning difficulty caused by lack of experience and necessaryunderstanding. There are many theories investigated to enhance knowledge assimilation methodology. This researchpaper attempted to identify the important design principles by investigating learning theories and identifying thecognitive approach engaged in educational teaching. Amongst many, two principal theories, specifically theory ofConstructivism and theory of Cognitive Load have been identified and investigated. This theory provided a theoreticalprocess framework to design and develop programming instruction guide. The proposed research aims to improve thedelivery of teaching for in computer science students from a pedagogical point of view by designing and implementingan innovative visual programming model, verified by students and teaching experts
